passionate about discovering fashion. When I first started blogging I was brand
new to fashion choices, especially dresses and similar items so discovering these
was exciting. As a size 30/32 I couldn’t believe that a whole world of fashion
I hadn’t ever heard of was passing me by. I lived in jeans and t shirts because
I thought these was the best (*only) option for someone of my size.

they assumed they had. Once I discovered a whole new world of plus size fashion
that I wanted to share with everyone else – and so my life as a blogger began.

stifling in many ways as I always thought. Yes, over recent years plus size
fashion HAS improved – if you’re less than a size 24 and have the “right shaped”
body.

against a brick wall – the truth is that brands aren’t prepared to listen and
we’re always going to have fashion campaigns that exclude certain sets of
bodies. After a while I lost motivation and without really realising it, I
stopped blogging about what was/IS really important to me.
and I can see the same AMAZING voices shouting about the changes we NEED to,
calling out brands to do better and demanding more. I realised that I missed
being a part of this – that me giving up the good fight was doing no one any
good.
Because let me tell you now, brands are NOT doing good enough, fashion
campaigns are NOT doing what they should be and people are not using their
platforms to make a difference. I want to use the small voice I have to try and
make a small difference, or at least feel as though I am trying my very best to
make it happen.
